Proud of my twenty year-old son

My son Zak went on campus to meet a young woman he met. Zak was excited and was wearing a suit! A frat boy saw my twenty year-old son walking on the sidewalk and yelled "faggot". I asked Zak what he had done and he said, "I was just walking but after he yelled, I smiled and gave him the peace sign." Instead of being mad Zak said, "I took it as a compliment." I was so proud of Zak--had to share.

You have good reason to be proud of him. He didn't let the AH get under his skin, but just smiled at him.....Again, good for him.

Frat rats are so ignorant. They have to dress up in suits, bow ties, khakis, whatever the frat leaders tell them to wear for their themed events. That idiot has no call mocking anyone for anything, let alone a suit.
